Re: Graphical requirement for program -- RPG400-L

You could check out my RPGChartEngine tool that is open source and free: http://mowyourlawn.com/RPGChartEngine.html

Basically my thought is that you could create the bar chart jpg with RPGChartEngine (which is placed in the IFS) and then invoke the browser on the users PC using either STRPCCMD or one of my other free and open source tools named RPGToDesktop. Note you would have to setup the Apache server and have it running to allow requests in to display those images, but that is quite simple and Apache is on most all AS400's.

We have been tasked with finding a way to present
a table of numbers that is currently displayed by an
RPG program via terminal emulation as a bar and line
graph.
All users of the RPG program are in-house and using
MochSoft terminal emulation.
We are thinking of modifying the program to write
the data to a record in a file and call a PC program. Then installing ODBC drivers on every PC.
Then writing a Java application to read that record and display the data as a graph and installing that
program on every PC.
There must be a better way.
We are open to vendor solutions.
Thanks,
Lance
